Our Incomparable Companion
Honey the Frenchie My family adores dogs. In our pack, I am Honey’s human. She shadows me everywhere and never leaves my side. Honey loves car rides, the beach, and even the hot tub. Though she’s only 4 years old, I dread the day she won’t be around. Over the past 30 years, I’ve hadContinueContinue reading “Our Incomparable Companion”
Breaking Bread
The phrase “breaking bread” signifies more than just sharing a meal; it represents fellowship, community, and coming together. In many cultures and religious traditions, breaking bread symbolizes unity and hospitality. It often involves sharing food and conversation, fostering a sense of connection and mutual respect among those present. Growing up, my mother insisted that weContinueContinue reading “Breaking Bread”
Daughters of the American Revolution
When I confirmed that my daughter could sing the National Anthem at a local Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) event, I didn’t fully grasp the significance or impact it would have on me. I knew nothing about the DAR organization, and the event was scheduled just four days after Election Day. The Kushkushkee TrailContinueContinue reading “Daughters of the American Revolution”
The Commonwealth of Neighborly Love
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (The Keystone State) Pennsylvania, my home state, is referred to as a commonwealth, not a state. There is no practical difference between a commonwealth and a state in the United States. The term “commonwealth” historically referred to an organized political community. This choice reflects Pennsylvania’s colonial history and the desire toContinueContinue reading “The Commonwealth of Neighborly Love”

For our own self-esteem and well-being, we must reject all forms of enslavement and strive for independence. Genuine freedom is achieved when you embraceContinueContinue reading “The Fear of Freedom”
Living with Dents
I avoid buying new cars for two main reasons. First, they are a poor investment since they lose value the moment you drive them off the lot. I always remember Thomas Stanley’s advice from The Millionaire Next Door: invest in houses, not cars. Houses appreciate in value, while cars depreciate. Second, new cars are flawlessContinueContinue reading “Living with Dents”
The Problem of Ordinary
Feeling ordinary is a common experience, but it’s important to remember that everyone has the potential to lead an extraordinary life. This concept is echoed throughout the Bible, which recounts the stories of many seemingly ordinary individuals who achieved remarkable things by placing their faith in God’s plan for them. They embraced the belief thatContinueContinue reading “The Problem of Ordinary”
Perfectly Imperfect
Jarah’s 11th Birthday Cake Featuring Toothless from How to Train Your Dragon There is something profoundly beautiful about sincerely acknowledging our imperfections. Recognizing that we are all imperfect should not diminish the standard of perfection we aspire to. Instead, it should motivate us to cultivate the “fruit of the Spirit” qualities: love, joy, peace, patience,ContinueContinue reading “Perfectly Imperfect”
Versus v. Verses
One of my favorite episodes of “Seinfeld” is The Opposite (S5:E22 – May 19, 1994). In the episode, George Costanza turns his life around by doing the opposite of what he would usually do. George: Every decision I’ve ever made in my entire life has been wrong. My life is the complete opposite of everthing I wantContinueContinue reading “Versus v. Verses”
